[fdo] keyboard, keys editor on linux, write unicode without IME ?
Hi, Before starting, I must say that I haven't change my Linux OS (Mandrake 8.1) for 3 years. So, I dont't really know if there were a big evolution until now. I don't know if there is a possibility to edit keyboard on Linux (libxklavier ?...). If not, it should be launch by freedesktop.org. If yes, it should be a word about this. In this editor, there would be a list of all existing keyboard ISO profiles. In addition to keyboard ISO profiles, there would be a possibility to add a custom profile for edit some keys. For example, in hawaiian language, there is an accent (seems that is ?, U+02BB) in their typography. Seems there are no keyboard that be able to write this accent. I don't know if there is a possibility to write directly unicode characters without IME on Linux. Like on Windows AltGr+number which is limited to 255, it would be possible to write unicode characters based on unicode numbers. Bye. LIVINE Christin >^-^< christin.livine@urbanisme.gov.pf
